Kamaru Usman takes a swipe at Jorge Masvidal at the same time as calling out Canelo Alvarez

Kamaru Usman couldn’t resist the opportunity to have a pop at Jorge Masvidal – at the same time as calling for a chance to face Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.

Usman, 35, has continuously chased a mega-money boxing match with the Mexican superstar.

The Nigerian Nightmare, who is the UFC‘s current pound-for-pound king according to the official rankings, only has one loss on his 21-fight record.

But Usman also took a swipe at Masvidal after he joked he ‘sent him to the shadow realm’ whilst suggesting ‘he’s still up there’.

The pair first met on Fight Island in July 2020, with Usman successfully defending the UFC welterweight title after a fairly boring fight.

But Usman was a different animal the second time round and showed off his new and improved striking, dominating the fight before knocking his man out in the second round.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the 35-year-old said: “You would think I train on how to punch people’s faces.

“I put in work. I put in work each and every day, whether it’s boxing or kickboxing. We put in the time.

“With that time, I’m confident in my abilities. Listen, when I said, ‘Hey, Jorge Masvidal, you said you wanted a full camp, that you were going to be able to take me out with a full camp.’ I said, ‘Hey, this time I’m going to knock your head to the moon and I’m going to do it.’

“After I went out there and dealt with [Gilbert] Burns, I got him back and said, ‘Masvidal, you’re next. I’ll give you another shot, I’ll give you a full camp and I’m knocking your head to the moon this time.’

“Everyone said, ‘Masvidal’s the best boxer in MMA.’ I sent him to the shadow realm. I think he’s still up there.

“I’m brave enough to go into your arena to do it. Can you say the same thing? None of
